"... CONTENTED STURNINE HUMAN FIGURES, a dozen or so of them, sitting around a large long
table... Perfect equality is to be the rule; no rising or notice taken when anybody enters or leaves.
Let the entering man take his place and pipe, without obligatory remarks; if he cannot smoke...let
him at least affect to do so, and not ruffle the established stream of things."

AND, Roger shared this pipe smoking tip from "Joaquin Verdaguer and his lovely, quirky book 'The art
of pipe smoking'. When filling your pipe, take a single cigarette paper and twist it into a ball and
deposit it at the bowl's bottom. Then fill the pipe as usual. By means of this filter your pipe will have
excellent aspiration and your tobacco will be consumed up to the last shred. No dottle, no waste!"
But, Roger reports, "I only use it with briars, not in my meerschaum."
